DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0017] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0018] Example

[0019] Feeding method: This experiment was conducted under the same lighting and ventilation conditions. Yaks were fed in a free-range feeding mode. The pre-test period was 10 days and the main test period was 90 days. 32 healthy and disease-free yaks weighing about 200 kg with similar birth dates were selected and randomly divided into 4 groups, with 8 yaks in each group. According to the fattening yaks of about 200 kg, the dosage of the drug additive was calculated as 0.5%, 1%, and 2% of the concentrate in the feed of each yak per day. The above Chinese medicines were crushed and mixed into the concentrate according to the proportion. One control group was fed only the basic diet without adding preparations (K); one yak experimental group added Qiangqiangsan (D) at 0.5% of the concentrate; one yak experimental group added Qiangqiangsan (Z) at 1% of the concentrate; and one yak experimental group added Qiangqiangsan (G) at 2% of the concentrate. Feeding (mixing Chinese herbal compound and concentrate) was done twice a day at 8:30 am and 5:30 pm. 1 / 4 of the test amount was added on the 1st to 2nd day, 1 / 3 of the test amount was added on the 3rd to 4th day, 2 / 3 of the test amount was added on the 5th to 6th day, and the test amount was added on the 7th day. The fish were allowed to drink water freely during the experiment to ensure that each group was fed the same way.

[0020] Observation of each group of yaks:

[0021] By observing the feces and coat of the yaks in the experimental group, the feces characteristics and the smoothness of the yak coat were observed and visually evaluated. At the beginning of feeding, the feces and coat of the yaks in each group were roughly the same. The feces were brown and sticky, and there was a lot of undigested concentrate; the fur was slightly messy, and the yak skin was mixed with a lot of unshed hair. Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the feces of the blank control group were brown and sticky and mixed with a lot of undigested concentrate, and the hair was messy and curly. After feeding the Qiangqiangsan immune improved feed additive premix, compared with the blank group, the feces characteristics of the yaks fed with different doses of Qiangqiangsan immune improved feed additive premix improved, most of them were black and curly, and the concentrate content in the feces was significantly reduced compared with the blank group; the yaks fed with different doses of Qiangqiangsan immune improved feed additive premix had smooth and delicate hair, and the hair fell off in time, and the overall effect was obvious.

[0022] Statistics of growth performance of yaks in each group:

[0023] At the beginning of the experiment (0d), the yaks in each experimental group were weighed on an empty stomach, and the weight was recorded as the initial weight of the experiment. After the 45th and 90th days of the experiment, the yaks were weighed in the same way. The feeding amount of each experimental group was recorded during the experiment. The production performance indicators of average daily feed intake, average daily weight gain, and feed-to-weight ratio were determined by conventional methods.

[0024] Average daily weight gain = (average weight at the end of the test - average weight at the beginning) / number of days of the test;

[0025] Average daily feed intake = total feed consumption during the test period / number of test days;

[0026] Feed-to-weight ratio = average daily feed intake / daily weight gain.

[0027] Table 1 Feed-to-weight ratio of each group of yaks during the trial

[0028]

[0029]

[0030] According to the data in the table above, the average daily weight gain of the experimental group of yaks increased, while their feed-to-weight ratio decreased significantly. This change shows that the digestion and absorption capacity of the experimental group of yaks for concentrated feed has been significantly improved. These changes verify the expected effect of the experiment, that is, enhancing the utilization rate and digestion and absorption capacity of yaks for concentrated feed.

[0031] Blood physiological index detection:

[0032] At the beginning of the experiment (0d), blood samples were collected from yaks in each experimental group and sent to the nearest hospital for blood physiological index detection; at the end of the experiment, blood physiological index detection was performed on yaks in each group. Blood was collected from the jugular vein of the fasting experimental yaks on the morning of the 0th day and the second day after the 90th day of the experiment, and anticoagulation was used for routine blood analysis. Through the detection of yak blood physiological indexes, compared with the control group, the number of red blood cells, white blood cells and lymphocytes in the drug administration group increased; the number of neutrophils in the drug administration group decreased.

[0033] Table 2 Routine blood test results of yaks in each group

[0034]

[0035]

[0036] Immune function test of yaks in each group:

[0037] Immune-related factors (IgM, IgG, IL-2, TNF-α) were detected in yak serum. Figure 2As shown, compared with the control group, the IgM content in group D was extremely significantly increased, and the IgG and IL-2 contents were significantly increased; the IgM and IL-2 contents in group Z were increased, and the IgG content was significantly increased; the IgM content in group G was increased.

[0038] Compared with the control group, the yaks in the drug-treated group showed a remarkable transformation. The characteristics of their feces changed from loose and disordered to compact and orderly, and the color became healthier and more natural. This significant change directly reflects the efficient operation of the digestive system; the yaks covered with hair are like wearing shiny new clothes, with thicker and smoother hair, showing a significant improvement in physical fitness after drug administration; in terms of feed-to-weight ratio, the yaks in the drug-treated group achieved a breakthrough reduction, and the feed conversion rate increased by nearly 20% compared with the control group. This data is undoubtedly a strong proof of their ability to efficiently utilize feed resources. In-depth exploration of its physiological mechanism, through precise blood physiological index detection and immune-related factor determination, it was found that the immune function of the yaks in the drug-treated group was substantially enhanced, and the activity of immune cells and antibody production ability were significantly improved, which built a solid line of defense for the yaks to resist the invasion of external pathogens. The yaks in the drug-treated group have achieved unprecedented significant results in growth performance, health status and economic benefits. Qiangqiangsan immune-improved feed additive premix has injected new vitality and hope into the development of animal husbandry.

[0039] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above and that the invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential features of the invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description, and it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims be included in the invention. Any reference numeral in a claim should not be considered as limiting the claim to which it relates.
